Is there anyone who can share the site where you go to reserve a campsite for the state park? We have stayed at the Grapevine and Hickory tent sites at BeaversBend State Park. We have reserved them through the OK State Park website: www.travelok.com/state-parks/beavers-bend-state-parkBoth campsites which is really a continuous single area get noisy and crowded on weekends and might need to reserve far in advance. They share one primitive outhouse and one dumpster. Some sites are pretty close to others so having respectful neighbors helps. Each has a picnic table, grill pit, and fire ring. Be sure to bring firewood and toilet paper (Park provides in outhouse but gets heavy use on weekends and best have your own). there are many other sites but these/this is what we have used. not that it much helped my fishing 🎣 😢 hope this helps

The Dogwood Tent Campground is very similar to Grapevine and Hickory but I think it doesn't have quite as many spots. Elm Tent Campground is also similar but with a short hike up to the Fern RV Campground you have access to an older bathhouse that has running water and flush toilets.
There might be some tent sites in the Acorn, Buckeye and Cypress Campgrounds on the south side but they are mostly for RVs. It's worth noting that there is a very nice bathhouse down by Cypress, just a little north of the tennis courts. Be sure to bring a stack of quarters for the showers though!

Another camping option in the area that I believe is still "first come first served" is Mountain Fork Park right below the re-reg dam at the beginning of zone III. I've used the primitive tent sites a few times when the State park campgrounds were too crowded or just for the change of scenery. They also have some RV sites with electricity hook-ups, although I'm not sure if they are in service during off-season. Facilities are limited to an outhouse with no running water. I like how the campsites are right by the river. Also, when the morning fog rises off the river and floats between the big boulders and the roots of the cypress trees down there, it's quite a magical sight.

You weren't very specific, but... If you have an RV like me, and don't mind traveling a little to fish... Try the Armadillo Unit campground on the north end of Hochatown, on Steven's Gap Rd. It's part of the state park and is usually very quiet. Some of the RV sites are full hookup... I stay there every trip.
